EURGBP Euro vs Pound Sterling

The pound drifted lower against its key counterparts in the European session on Monday, as the outbreak of a new strain of the coronavirus in the country forced the authorities to impose tighter restrictions and the UK and the EU still failed to resolve conflicts on key issues in order to agree on a trade deal before the end of the year.

The British government on Saturday imposed tighter restrictions on London and south-east England, warning that the new strain of the virus was "out of control".

After touching a 6-day high of 139.00 in the previous session, the pound weakened to a 10-day low of 137.03 against the Japanese yen. Next key support for the pound is possibly seen around the 136.00 level.
